A seed maturation study was conducted to determine the earliest
date seed of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) may be
safely harvested without reduction in yield or seed quality. In 1981
and 1982, seed and bur weight, seed and bur moisture content, germination and seedling vigor were studied to determine...
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from strawberries was purified,
partially characterized, and used to study its role in the degradation
of anthocyanin pigments. The extraction method included the use of a
buffered solution containing the phenolic binders Polyclar AT and
Amberlite XAD-4. Addition of Triton X-100 resulted in an increase of
the...
Many substances in the plant kingdom and in man's diet occur
as glycosides. Recent studies have indicated that many glycosides
that are not mutagenic in tests such as the Salmonella/microsome
test become mutagenic upon hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkages.
The Salmonella/microsome test utilizes a liver homogenate to approximate
mammalian metabolism...
The purpose of this project is to design and implement an intermediate language interpreter for a very high level language called Bagit. The Bagit compiler produces Bcode, and this in turn is interpreted by the program described in this report.
This paper addresses the order-picking problem in a warehouse
and establishes some criteria for the planning, design, and improvement
of a warehouse layout to increase the order-picking efficiency.
A simulation model has been developed to study the effect of
warehouse layout on the order-picking throughput. Three major design
elements of...
This dissertation presents the findings of a literature review and information
regarding selection, implementation and development of a chemical composition
procedure for asphalt cements. The chemical composition analysis selected was
the Corbett-Swarbrick procedure standarized as ASTM D4124. The procedure is
a selective adsorption / desorption (solid / liquid) chromatography which...
